GEORGE, MORELAND, R. A. 
Born in the Haymarket, London, June 26, 1763. 


Studied under his father, who came of a family of 
engravers and painters; he evinced great talent at an 
early age, and was probably one of the most prolific — 
painters and draughtsmen of any age; without doubt 
he could express more rusticity than any other painter, 
and his influence has been so insidious that something 
of his mastery of country life still crops out in the 
English School. His handling is marked by great 
strength and directness. He died poor in 1804.

Feeding the Favorite 


32x Al 


A richly furnished dining room of ample propor- 
tions forms the setting of the subject. A child is sit- 
ting at the table, but is more taken up with the favor- 
ite hound that his mother is feeding, while a lady 
at the end of the table also looks on with evident 
interest. Great depth of color marks this work.
